Tipalti Overview

What is Tipalti?

Tipalti is a third-party cloud-based accounts payable platform that automates the entire supplier payments operation. It helps businesses manage their accounts payable processes efficiently by streamlining invoice processing, tax compliance, payment reconciliation, and supplier communication. Tipalti provides features such as invoice processing, payment automation, global payment capabilities, tax compliance management, supplier onboarding, and reporting and analytics.

ClickFunnels uses Tipalti to organize tax documents and distribute payments to our affiliates on the 1st and 15th of each month per our payout guidelines. To get paid for your commissions before the 120-day expiration period, you must have tax documentation on file with ClickFunnels. This is mandatory no matter which country you live in.

The three main parts to setting up your Tipalti Account are:

• Personal Information
• Tax Documents
• Payment Method

1. First, reach your Affiliate Center by clicking on your Account Settings in the upper right corner dropdown and clicking CF 2 Affiliate Center or Log into the Customer Center > Affiliate Program if you do not have a ClickFunnels 2.0 account.
